Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?
  I've always wanted to try Anechoic tile's from a submarine as they are tuned to absorb/ isolate most lower freq, very hard to come by, because they are confidential. But basically they are acoustic rubber with various sized voids that are filled... 
Integrated vs Separates, New vs Used - Rogue Audio, Simaudio, McIntosh??? Input Needed!
I'd also say speakers first and in that get something efficient 92db and up as this will open the door to a better selection of amps like  lower powered tube amps. Your should audition more tube integrated amps I think you may like the sound of tu... 
Pass xa30.5 vs First Watt F6

RCA interconnects, can I expect 3.5 meter to offer good performance?
I wouldn't worry about it 3.5m is not that long really. look at input impedances of your amp and output impedances of the tube pre your looking at as long as they are compatible that length is not that long. Balanced was originally designed for pr...

Power an amp and component with batteries instead of direct outlet power?
Living Voice uses a maga buck battery/inverter system when demoing their Vox Olympians. ok million dollar system but it can be done easily if you know much about batteries and charging cycles. just a few lead acid car batteries could power a syste...
